And so in that case, I thought I was dealing with a similarly wonderful person who would listen and negotiate and find some middle ground.

And I was not.

I was not.

And I don't know exactly how to judge anymore because I've been surprised a number of times.

In the case of the thread that I wrote, I was surprised in a good way.

In the other case, I was surprised in a really terrible way.

There is none, which is another answer to the question that you asked me.

How do we go out there?

How do we reach people?

The problem with reaching the woman in my thread, who I hate to refer to as the awful because she isn't.

But, you know, the woman I identified as a Minnesota awful is that.

there is zero benefit for her to adopt a kind of centrist stance or look at things a little more critically.

She will be lambasted.

She will lose her standing, social, financial, professional.

It will be over for her as it was over for me there.

As do I. And thank you.

If you can hear me smiling, it's because I'm going back and forth with Torch Insiders in the live chat.

They love this country.

They're smart, funny.

You want to be in this community.
